BNSF 6408 West Meets BNSF 969 East at Steward, Illinois on 5-26-2010
An ES44AC led "Z" train rips past a waiting eastbound GE C44-9W at Elva Road near Steward on the BNSF Aurora sub. The crew of 969 was outside waiting for the pass. One crewmember told me that the air conditioning was inop on this hot day. He wanted to go fast with the windows open.
This is at the Elva Road grade crossing, just northwest of Steward. A few miles behind 969, on the same track was the "Savanna-Eola" train, also waiting for two westbounds.
